This is going to deter the oil from coming on shore? There will be time for "lawsuits and criminal charges" later. Right now the President needs to focus on more booms, skimmers, ANYTHING that will clean this mess up BEFORE it hits shore.

The president of Shell OIl and an individual involved in a successful clean up in the Arabian Gulf that may have exceeded the Exxon Valdez spill have been advocating for over a month for a super tanker response which suctions the oil from the ocean. It's a promising procedure which could have helped to circumvent the oil away from the Florida coast, not to mention mollify the potential of the 20% increase of oil coming from the BP well fractures if the latest attempt isn't successful. What's truly needed is an adequate clean up in motion which so far has not been provided by either BP or the feds, rather than the political posturing of threatening criminal charges. Not that I don't think
BP shouldn't undergo an exhaustive and criminal investigation, but the priorities seem highly skewed as the Gulf disaster quickly worsens.

Republican Party favorable ratings are down again. The current 36% rating represents a significant decline from the 42% measured in late March, and is nearly back to the 34% readings from late 2008 and early 2009.
With the decline in Republican favorable ratings and stabilization of Democratic ratings, the net result is that the Democratic Party once again has an advantage over the Republican Party on this measure, 43% to 36%, after the parties were essentially tied in late March.

They are not acting in the best interest of the marshes and ecosystem, they are first trying to be financially prudent. This is NOT being treated as an Emergency Hazmat Response where they spare no expense to protect the environment and that's the way it needs to be. The Emergency Response to protect whatever is identified as needing protection almost needs a blank check if it is to be done right. Having booms being refused to localities or not utilizing local fisherman in the battle is criminal.
Of course BP is probably beginning to realize there may be some health affects from oil and dispersants so maybe they are now being reluctant because of that.
Maybe the govt needs to take control of the ecosystem cleanup while BP focuses on shutting down the well!

The 49%-43% lead for the Republicans is the largest that the pollster has ever recorded for the party. Moreover, Democratic enthusiasm for voting this fall fell a point, while enthusiasm among Republicans stayed about fifteen points higher. This indicates an even wider lead for Republicans once Gallup imposes a likely voter screen this fall.
